Powered by a pair of top ten finishes, the Columbia International University men finished third as a team to mark their best result ever in a home-campus race. The Rams trailed the champion of the Palmetto State Cross Country Festival, Bob Jones University, by only 12 points.

Meanwhile, Alexis Zwilling represented Columbia International University in the top ten, leading the Lady Rams to a seventh-place finish among the women at the Cross Country Festival. 

The Sept. 5 Festival included an open race for the community, followed by nine high school boys and girls teams and 10 men's and women's college teams.
